Dean Warner Is Guest Speaker 
At Annual Business Club Banquet 

Dr. Arthur E. Warner, dean of the College of Business 
Administration at the University of Tennessee was guest speaker 
at the annual Business Club Banquet Tuesday night at the Brown 
Derby In Fulton, Kentucky. 

Dean Warner spoke on the topic "The Path to Business 
Leadership in the year 2000.” 

He said that knowledge of specific subjects is Important, 
but it is secondary to the development of general mental 
abilities and the ability to work 


with, lead and handle people. 

"We can best carry through 
the development of these per¬ 
sonal characteristics through 
study In a specific field relat¬ 
ing to business,” Dean Warner 
said. 

Personal qualities and skills 
are essential in career develop¬ 
ment, he said. These Include 
understanding and working with 
people, reasoning, objectivity, 
leadership qualities, drive and 
self-discipline, character and 
integrity, he added. 

Dean Warner told the 
students, faculty members and 
guests at the banquet that "top 
executives believe education for 
business should comprise at 
least four major elements.” He 
said that these are development 
of personal skills and mental 
abilities; understanding of the 
tools of business administra¬ 
tion; understanding the changing 
world-wide influences of busi¬ 
ness and development of the 
Importance to participate in a 
lifelong learning process. 

Other guests at the ban¬ 
quet were; Dr. John Ross, head 
of the Accounting Department, 
Dr. John Lewis, head of Busi¬ 
ness Research, and Allen Thur¬

UTMB Instructor 
Organizing Tour 

For Young People 

Mrs. Pauline Glover, in¬ 
structor In English at The Uni¬ 
versity of Tennessee Martin 
Branch, is organizing a 
European tour for young people, 
ages 18 to 26. 

The Brownell Tour will 
include twelve countries; 
France, Monaco, the Rivleras, 
Italy, Yugoslavia, Austria, 
Liechtenstein, Switzerland, 
Germany, Belgium. Holland and 
England, and the tour will last 
47 days. Besides the exciting 
life of parties, dancing, movies 
and swimming on the steamer, 
the Empress of England, there 
will be special entertainment in 
Europe, such as a day at the 
Riviera beach at Nice, a cruise 
on the River Rhine, a Shake¬ 
speare play at Stratford, special 
native dinners, an evening 
gondola serenade In Venice, and 
many other enjoyable events, 
Mrs. Glover said. Because all 
arrangements are completed by 
Brownell, the student can enjoy 
the trip free of responsibilities. 

The departure date is June 
18 from Montreal and the re¬ 
turning date is August 3. The 
cost of the tour Includes all 
transportation from Montreal, 
all meals, all hotel accommoda¬ 
tions, all tips and transfers, all 
port taxes, all pre-embarkation 
arrangements, as well as the 
services of native guides in all 
countries and a local person to 
accompany the tour, Mrs. 
Glover added. 

Mrs. Glover said that an ad¬ 
vantage for college students is 
that Brownell has the Travel 
Now-Pay Later plan, which re¬ 
quires only a small deposit and 
allows 20 months to pay the 
balance. Interested persons 
may talk to Mrs. Glover in her 
office, Room 208, in the Ad¬ 
ministration Building. 

New Greenhouse 
To Be Constructed 

Construction of anew green¬ 
house will be necessary if the 
new library is built on the pro¬ 
posed site, according to Dr. 
Glen Hall, head of the Agricul¬ 
ture Department. 

Since the greenhouse is es¬ 
sential to courses in horticul¬ 
ture and agronomy, a new 
greenhouse would be needed to 
replace the one which possibly 
will be torn down. 

The possibilities of a site 
are now being studied. Profes¬ 
sor J.E. McMahan has been 
asked to determine what needs 
should be supplied in the new 
structure. 


Three Ring Circus Is Theme 
For Twenty-Ninth Carnicus 

The twenty-ninth Carnicus will be presented March 4 in the 
University of Tennessee Martin Branch Fleldhouse at 8:00 p.m. 

Carnicus, a program sponsored by the Physical Education 
Department, began in 1936 and has become an annual event. 
The term Carnicus is a contraction of carnival and circus. 

This year’s program will be a fast moving show but still 
will have the variety as in the past, according to Coach J.C. 
Henson, head of the Department of Physical Education. 


Soprano-Baritone 
Team To Present 
Concert March 1 

Leyna Gabriele, soprano, 
and Ron Bottcher, baritone, will 
present a concert March 1 at 
8 p.m. in the Music Building on 
The University of Tennessee 
Martin Branch campus. 

This is the final attraction 
of this season's Mutual Concert 
Series in Martin. It is open to 
members of the MutualConcert 
Associations, Civic Music As¬ 
sociations of Murray, Paducah, 
Mayfield, and Dyersburg and to 
students of U-T Martin Branch 
and Murray State College. 

Miss Gabriele and Mr. Bot¬ 
tcher will present a sampling 
of composers who are consid¬ 
ered to be among the finest 
writers for the human voice, 
said Robert Stewart, UTMB in¬ 
structor in music. An unusual 
feature of the program will be 
the presentation of a short, 
comic opera, "The Telephone” 
by the modern American 
composer, Menotti. This opera 
which tells of the trials and 
tribulations of a young man who 
has to compete with his girl 
friend’s telephone conversa¬ 
tions, is one of the rare exam¬ 
ples of a successful opera writ¬ 
ten for just two characters, he 
added. 

Both artists have received 
enthusiastic reviews from such 
notable papers as the New York 
Times, the New York Herald 
Tribune, and the Denver Post, 
Mr. Stewart said. 

Miss Gabriele made her de¬ 
but at the Teatro Nuovo in 
Milano, Italy, and has appeared 
with the Central City Opera 
and Cleveland Festivals. Mr. 
Bottcher won the Regional Met¬ 
ropolitan Opera Auditions in 
Seattle, Washington, at the age 
of 19. He is now the leading 
Baritone with the New York City 
Opera Company. 

Globetrotters Play 
Here On March 5 

The appearance of the 
Harlem Globetrotters on The 
University of Tennessee Martin 
Branch campus will be March 
26. 

Tickets will be distributed 
to members of the AH Student 
Association Tuesday night, said 
Larry Bates, ASA president. 

Students will have first 
chance to purchase tickets, he 
said. They are encouraged to 
buy tickets early because of the 
shortage of seats compared to 
the demand of tickets, he added. 

The Globetrotters are in 
their 39th season and have ap¬ 
peared in 87 countries on six 
continents. 

The team is known as Uncle ’’ 
Sam’s finest "Ambassadors of 
Good WiU.” 

Men's Residence Mall 
To Sponsor Dance Here 

The Men’s Main Dormitory 
will sponsor a dance February 
26 at the Women’s Physical 
Education Building. 

The dance will begin at 7;30 
p.m. Music will be furnished 
by the Wellingtons, a band from 
McKenzie. Admission is $1.00 
per person. 


Each year is better than the 
last, and we expect this to be 
no different,” he said. 

An Important part of the 
program wUl be the presen¬ 
tation of the King and Queen, 
Brad Brodie and Judith Prit¬ 
chett. They will perform in¬ 
dividually and together tn a 
completely different routine, 
according to Miss Nadine 
Gearin, UTMB Instructor of 
physical education. 

"The Balance Beam," a 
apparatus, wUl be used this 
year, according to Miss Betty 
Giles, chairman of Carnicus. 
The advanced tumbling class 
has been working on individual 
acts and those presented in 
Carnicus have been selected 
as the best. Carol Schrader 
and Beverly Chandler will pre¬ 
form. 

"Three Ring Thrills,’’ this 
year’s theme, will be carried 
out by transforming as far as 
possible the Fleldhouse into a 
circus setting, Miss Giles 
said. 

Laura Johnson, whose design 
is used on the posters, is in 
charge of the decoration com¬ 
mittee. Shelia Ethridge won 
the Carnicus program cover 
design contest. 

Intermission will be featur¬ 
ing concession stands selling 
tradition circus fall of popcorn, 
peanuts, pink lemonade; bal¬ 
loons sold in the crowd and lol¬ 
lipops will complete the circus 
atmosphere. , 

A grand square dance fol-\ 
lowing intermission is one of the 
six to be performed, types vary¬ 
ing from folk dances, quare 
dances, modern dances to the 
grand finale, "BeautifulLove.” 

"Lorry Ruth once again will 
be performing his dance—pure 
clos 

clown,” added Miss Giles. 

Tumbling or tradition Car¬ 
nicus activity will introduce 
new features this year. 

Men’s basic tumbling will 
offer entertaining stunts per¬ 
formed by a large group while 
the men’s tumbling team, will 
do advanced skills. "These 
offer more difficult individual 
and dual stunts plus the gymn¬ 
astic aspect of the vaulting 
bar,” commented Coach Hen¬ 
son. 

The women’s tumbling team 
wUl continue the three ring 
theme by performing different 
acts simultaneously, and the act 
will be "climaxed by an 
original humorous tumbling act 
stated Miss Gearin. Thirteen 
out of the 18 on the team 
are in the advanced tumbling 
class. 

A rope jumping act pre¬ 
sented by four couples and the 
Carnicus clowns will offer fa¬ 
ther variety to the program. 

"One of the main char actef- 
istics of Carnicus is that it 
grows out of the activity in 
the class and is put together 
with a minimum amount of group 
practice,” said Coach Henson. 

A big part of Carnicus is 
► affording an opportunity for a 
lot of students to be a part 
of a program. 

"Carnicus is never put to¬ 
gether until the night of the per¬ 
formance,” said Miss Giles. 

Coach Henson will narrate 
the program and a total of eight 
faculty members are working 
oil the program. 

' “Carnicus is fun; Carni¬ 
cus is a mood that permeates 
the school by the infection 
given off by the participants,” 
said Coach Henson. “We who 
work with it catch the spirit.” 

Advance tickets are on sale 
by the members of the 
intramural teams.

Freshman Raymund McKelvy Tells 
About Years He Lived In Bolivia 


College Yearbooks Have Come Long Way 
Since Early Decorated Literary Productions 


BY ERNIE McCALL 



RAYMUND McKELVY 


How would you like to spend 
lour; years ol your life in a 
countrytfwhere oranges grow as 
large as grapefruit and water¬ 
melons can be eaten on Christ¬ 
mas Day? 

Raymund W. McKelvy, a 
freshman at the University ol 
Tennessee Martin Branch, lived 
with his parents in Bolivia in 
South America when he was only 
as a child and these are two 
, memories that staid out as 
unique to him about the country. 

When Ray was only three, 
his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. 
G.F. McKelvy, were asked to 
become MethodistMissionaries 
to Bolivia. The family spent 
lour years In LaPaz, one ol the 
two capitals of the country, 
where the Rev. Mr. McKelvy 
was principal ol the American 
Institute, a high school. The 
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. McKelvy 
both taught night classes for 
illiterate adults. In addition to 
these duties the Rev. Mr. 
McKelvy also served as as¬ 
sociate pastor of a church there 
called "The Church ol The 
Redeemer." 

Although Ray was very young 
during this period, he is able to 
recall many incidents in his 
family’s life. For instance, 
Ray remembers well the three 
national revolutions and the war 
with Peru which all occurred 
during those four years. He 
related how the family had to 
maintain a constant store of 
food and water in a hidden 
shelter, somewhat comparable 
to the present day fall-out 
shelter, in case war should 
arise. Water supplies and elec¬ 
tric current were invariably cut 
off when uprisings developed; 
stores were closed and trade 


was at a stand-still compelling 
villagers to depend on their own 
food supplies. 

Ray recalled that there were 
other occasions on which the 
current was stopped. In the 
summer when the water supply 
was low, electricity was cut off 
from approximately 11 a.m. 
until 4 or 5 p.m. to give suf¬ 
ficient time for water power 
to mount. 

Ray spoke of the presidential 
elections which are set up much 
as our own system. However, 
in Bolivia il a retiring presi¬ 
dent is driven out of office just 
before election, the leader of 
the revolution is considered the 
new president and no election 
takes place. 

The llama, the national ani¬ 
mal of Bolivia, is a beast of 
burden with its fur being used 
for clothing. Ray recalled the 
cautions that one takes against 
this animal. It has the ability 
to kick viciously with Its small, 
sharp hoofs with such force as 
to kill man or animal. The 
saliva or spit of the llama Is 
very poisonous and would cause 
great pain should It contact the 
human. 

Tall, lanky, bespectacled 
Ray is one of probably very few 
who caa boast that he spent one 
and one-half years in the second 
grade. When the McKelvy’s 
left Bolivia, Ray had completed 
half of the second grade. When 
they returned to the states, 
school was just beginning 
because of different dates of the 
seasons in the two countries. 
At that time Ray was not pre¬ 
pared to enter the third grade 
and, thus, had to begin the sec¬ 
ond grade again. 

Ray’s family has always 
been on the move, but this did 
not hinder his energetic work 
in Boy Scouts since the organi¬ 
zation is a national one. He, 
in due time, achieved the God 
and Country, and Three Palms 
Awards and wasnamed an Eagle 
Scout and then a Vigil Member 
of the order of the Arrow. 

His work this summer at 
the National Jamboree at Valley 
Forge, Pennsylvania, highlight¬ 
ed Ray’s scouting career. He 
served as a mail man for the 
5,500 boys attending the jam¬ 
boree and was a special security 
guard for President Johnson 
working in close connection with 
the Federal Bureau of Investi¬ 
gation. 

Ray is enrolled In secondary 
education endorsing in social 
studies. He is a Grenadier and 
an active Wesley member.

High school and college 
yearbooks today are a far cry 
from the first student publica¬ 
tion of which we have record. 

"Literary Journal’’ of the 
Boston Latin School, dated May 
8, 1829 Is the first printed 
student publication of which we 
have record, in It there was an 
article written a year earlier 
by a student who had gone to 
Russia. This article arrived 
just In time for publication; It 
told of unusual steps to which 
Russian customs officials went 
to prevent entry of any books 
or periodicals dealing with li¬ 
berty or democracy. 

The gap from this literary 
magazine to the yearbook was 
bridged by annual exchanges of 
senior pictures in various col¬ 
leges and high schools. As early 
as 1845 there was a college 
yearbook - there may have been 
others before, but we know of 
that one - It was simply the 
written record of the school 
year. Not until after develop¬ 
ment of halftone pictures in the 
1880’s did the modern year¬ 
book come into being. Ap¬ 
parently, it had its beginning on 
college level. The earliest 
consisted mainly of literary 
material with small photo¬ 
graphs of senior classmen. 

High schools got their form 
from college and copied them 
exactly. Among early books 
one was a gift from the school 
to seniors and was worked up by 
junior class. Information in it 
had to do with the school, facul¬ 
ty, music activities, seniors, 
athletics, school activities and 
students. It was very scanty in 
coverage and made up simply 
like an album. Another old 
annual about this time had ap¬ 
proximately the same features 
but included a calendar, a list 
of faculty and of students. 

Yearbooks became predom¬ 
inantly literary; elaborate class 
wills, prophecies, original 
poetry, quotations and frequent 
references to great literature 
dominated the publications. 
Photographs took minor place, 
were largely uncropped, and 
were of very formal groups 
looking at the photographer and 
standing prim and straight out¬ 
side in the sunlight. Margins 
extended all way around the 
page; there were no bleedoffs- 
margins and white space were 
rigidly enforced. 

By 1925 the general organi¬ 
zational pattern we follow today 
was fairly established. Nearly 
everyone had elaborate class 
copy', wills, but sections were 
devoted to faculty, seniors and 
sports. Then, special division 
pages separated sections. Pic¬ 
tures were usually oval; much 
artwork, especially around bor¬ 
ders of pages, run in heavy color 
and usually elaborate - always 
floral - dominated. 

Not until the mid 1930’s did 
photography achieve its domi¬ 
nant place. Now there were 
more candid shots of organiza¬ 
tions, sports, and senior sec¬ 
tions. Staffs became 

over-conscious of "theme” and 


often some symbol representing 
the theme crowded copy and 
pictures all but off pages.. keys 
for example. (1 have seen one 
in which the theme was "Edu¬ 
cation - Key to Success” and 
there was at least one key on 
every page of the book and a 
half dozen keys on some pages. 
Today, we have an underlying 
theme, but we use It so subtly 
that the reader hardly recog¬ 
nizes it - he simply has a feel¬ 
ing the book is unified.) Today, 
simplicity of design has replac¬ 
ed excessive use of gaudy and 
crude art work; when we see 
excessive or amateur art work 
in a book, we almost shudder 
and we feel this Is unnatural. 
Frills and fads fade into signi¬ 
ficance; in fact, before books 
working with "atom” theme 
were published, some new idea 
was startling the world .. .this 
Is true of spacecraft, plastic, 
Beatles, etc. Today, we place 
emphasis on the essentials of 
the school year and try to 
mirror that. Significant 
happenings this year Is what 
yearbooks try to portray. 

I can tell you some interest¬ 
ing incidents about yearbook 
staff members - they some¬ 
times almost get beside them¬ 
selves, for their work is not by 
quarters - it must be a continu¬ 
ing, coherent summation of a

MRS. MIZELLE WAGGENER 

Mrs. Mlzelle Waggener, a 
resident of Martin and mother 
of three, has recently become 
Vice President Paul Meek’s new 
secretary. 

Mrs. Waggener received her 
business training atDraughon’s 
Business College in Memphis. 
Afterwards, she worked almost 
two years and then attended 
UTMB one year. She met her 
husband, Max Waggener of Mar¬ 
tin, here and they were married 
soon afterward. 

Over the years her 
husband’s work took them first 
to Michigan and then to Seattle, 
Washington, for two and a half 
years wnere they lived until 
Mr. Waggener’s death about six 


year. Staff members musthave 
a terrific sense ot humor, an 
objective outlook on people and 
life and above all else, they must 
be reliable. Deadlines must 
be met - there Is no waiting 
or hoping to make up because 
the printer depands on the staff 
to get material to him. Grades 
almost always go "down.” 

Yes, today’s college year¬ 
book Is a far cry from the 
original. What will tomorrow’s 
be? Already teams of profes¬ 
sional photographers, layout 
men, and copywriters visit a 
college campus If there Is the 
finance and desire on part of 
the college - and all but bring 
about an Instant Yearbook. That 
may be tomorrow’s yearbook. 

The purpose of the year¬ 
book? Is it worth the time and 
effort students give to It? To 
die staff It Is Indeed an outlet 
for creativity; Associated Col¬ 
legiate Press, Columbia Press, 
National Scholastic Press all 
devoted to creation of finer 
school publications surely 
recognize the value of school 
annuals or papers. Of course, 
though I did sponsor a high 
school newspaper, my first love 
now might be the yearbook .. In 
fact, I have decided the Y In 
my name could stand for

months ago. Mrs. Waggener and 
her children moved back to 
-Martin to be near the children’s 
paternal grandparents, Mr. and 
MrsNS.C. Waggener, who live 
on George Street. 

For the last 17 years her 
Interests have been centered 
around her home. She parti¬ 
cipated In Choir work and a 
Mother Singer Group. 

When asked about the 
changes in UTMB since she was 
a student, Mrs. Waggener said 
that there were only 600 
students here when she attend¬ 
ed the school and that in general 
there was a "terlffic dif¬ 
ference.” However, she was 
surprised to recognize so many 
faces among the faculty. 

Mrs. Waggner is the mother 
of a ninth grader, Greg, who Is 
14; afourth grader, Scott, who is 
9; and a second grader, Pamela 
8 , 

Mrs. Waggener, a petite, 
brown-haired, attractive lady, 
is still getting acquainted with 
office procedures and people, 
but is quickly adjusting to the 
heavy traffic of the Vice Presi¬ 
dent’s office. 

259 Take ACT Tests 

Two hundred fifty-nine high 
school seniors took the ACT 
test held at the University of 
Tennessee Martin Branch Feb¬ 
ruary 20 according to Henry

Satire On Early Operettas 
Pleases Over-Flow Crowds 

BY LILA WEEMS 

“Little Mary Sunshine" by 
Nick Besoyan was presented 
last week with Vanguard 
Theatre staging the gentle 
satire In the true form of a 
pre-World War I operetta. 

The satire Is a take-off 
on the typical operetta of the 
1900-1918 era. During this 
era the Rudolph Freml-Vlctor 
Herbert Musicals were very 
popular. 

“Little Mary Sunshine” Is 
very similar to an operetta, 

“Rose Marie," which Is about 
the Canadian Mounted Police, 

Indians, and a young maiden 
In distress. These types of 
musicals were very typical of 
the first part of the century. 

Certainly no one would ex¬ 
pect realism in this satire for 
the drama ofthepre-war period 
often gained Its effect by being 
unrealistic. 

Little Mary (Kathryn Par¬ 
ker) seemed to come from a 
story book for her audience 
found her language most be¬ 
fitting the satire especially

Captain Big Jim Warrington 
(Robert Todd) brought forth

entertained. 

Corporal Billy Jester

Major General Howard Sny¬

Corps Commander, visited the 
ROTC Department of The Uni¬

Branch Monday. 

General Snyder was Impres¬ 
sed by the ROTC activities and 
the U-T Martli Branch campus, 
according toyMajor Milton S. 
Klllen, associate professor of 
military science. 

General Snyder “said that he 
was pleased with all the facets 
of the ROTC functions carried 
on by the Military Department, 
stated Major Klllen. General 
Snyder went on to say that the 
advanced ROTC was doing an 
efficient Job, and that the female 
sponsors played a better and 
more active role than that of 
some of the other schools. 


realistically portrayed that one 
might wonder If Vanguard had 
Imported a German lady for the 
part. 

Chief Brown Bear (Ron 
Pratt), Fleet Foot (Alec 
Bridges), and Yellow Feather 
(Phillip Slayden) were all very 
convincing Indians. The make¬ 
up seemed to be quite profes¬ 
sional as were the costumes. 

There was obviously a great 
deal of work put Into this play 
In stage work, props, costumes, 
individual song and dance num¬ 
bers, and especially In the over¬ 
all smooth production of the 
musical. This work was cer¬ 
tainly not done In vain for the 
audiences were well entertained 
and there was enough call for 
more tickets that the show could 
have run on for two more nights. 

The choreography done by 
William Snyder certainly was a 
major contribution to the play’s 
success. 

One of the most enjoyable 
parts of the presentation of 
“Little Mary Sunshine” was the 
music. Under the direction of 
Miss Harriet Fulton, Robert 
Stewart, Glenn Wlesner and 
Linda Myrlck put together the 
beautiful background and ac¬ 
companiment tor the musical. 

Certainly credit should be 
given the backstage team that 
did a great deal of unseen work. 
Tom Rhodes was stage manager 
and was In charge of all these 
activities.

quotes to describe engineering

knowledge gained from the 
mathematical and physical 
sciences by study, experience 
and practice is applied to de¬ 
velop ways to utilize econom¬ 
ically the forces and materials 
of nature for the good of man¬

King played his “Golden

which he has had for some 
thirty years, and led his 13- 
plece orchestra through fa¬ 
miliar tunes of the 1930’s and 
40’s. Among them was his 
theme song, “The Waltz You 
Saved For Me.” He also play¬ 
ed several current tunes. 

The audience was composed 
of people ranging In age from 
nine to 90. During several med¬

memorable, many of the older 
members of the audience were 
seen to take out handkerchiefs 
to wipe away misty tears of 
remembrance.

Vols Fall 82-70 
To Belmont Team 


At It Lookt From Here 


New Tennis Courts For Men Readied 

% r . 

For Beginning Of This Spring Season 


After taking their first tour¬ 
nament game last week in the 
VSAC meet at BelmontCollege, 
the Vols fell to Tusculum Col¬ 
lege, second place team of the 
Eastern Division, by the mis¬ 
leading score of 82-70. 

UTMB, having played the 
night before, matched the East 
Tennesseans point for point 
throughout most of the firs .half 
but at halftime had fallen below 
33-29. Receiving a bye in the 
opening round, Tusculum con¬ 
tinued at its pace in the sec¬ 
ond half and were never headed, 
although the Vols kept them 
moving by pulling up within 
four points in the final two 
minutes. 

Perhaps the major factor In 
the loss lay on the difference 
in field goal percentages, 
UTMB, who has led their op¬ 
ponents all season with 45 per¬ 
cent accuracy, fell slightly 
below their usual performance 
hitting Just over 41. 

The night before, the Vols 
rolled easily over King College 
84-70 in one of their best show¬ 
ing of the year. Hitting 59 
percent from the field, the Mar¬ 
tin cagers wore the nets out in 
the second half and spurred 
local predictions which placed 
them in the finals. 

In tournament scoring, 
Moore Landers boosted his sea¬ 
son average to over 15 points, 
by marking 24 and 17 points 
during the two games. Johnny 
Williams averaged 13 points 
during the meet, while Don 
Glover headed him with Just 
over 14 points per game. 

In other scoring for the two 
games, Ronnie Armstrong, 
playing for the first time after 
a three-game absence, ended 
with a total of 14 points. 

VSAC Trophy Won 
By Carson-Newman 

Carson-Newman, first place 
team of the Eastern Division 
with only one loss in VSAC com¬ 
petition and that being to Tus¬ 
culum, continued at their pace 
to end their season with a 
VSAC Tournament champion¬ 
ship trophy and a 74-67 victory 
over David Lipscomb College 
Saturday night. 

The finals, however, were 
more or less overshadowed by 
a Thursday night upset involving 
David Lipscomb and Union Uni¬ 
versity. Lipscomb, who ended 
regular season play in the cellar 
of the Western Division losing 
two games to Union, UTMB, and 
Belmont, and also dropping an¬ 
other to Bethel, overcame a 16 
point lead in the second half to 
defeat pre-tournament final fa¬ 
vorite Union 58-54. 

The Bisons then went on to 
overthrow Tusculum College to 
gain Saturday night pickings, 
and during the finals they gave 
big Carson-Newman a scare. 
These scores can only show that 
anybody can beat anybody, ex- 
errmlified again by these Ala¬ 
bama Tipset of SEC favortte 
Tennessee. 

Six Will Compete 
For Goli Positions 

Six men will compete for the 
three vacancies on the golf team 
for this season, according to 
Grover Page, golf team coach at 
The University of Tennessee 
Martin Branch. 

The only returning member 
from last year’s team will be 
“Doc” Watson, said Coach 
Page. 

So far golf matches have 
been scheduled with Union 
University, Austin Peay State 
College and Lambuth College. 
Other matches have been sched¬ 
uled, but as of this date they 
have not been confirmed. 

On April 16 and 17, UTMB 
will compete in the Tennessee 
Intercollegiate Athletic Cin¬ 
ference tournaments at the 
University of the South in 
Sewannee and'in the Volunteer 
State Athletic, Conference at 
Old- Hickory,'Coach Page said. 


UTMB’s Vols ended the sea¬ 
son with total statistics plainly 
exemplifying their balanced 
scoring attack and field goal 
accuracy. Outscorlng their op¬ 
ponents from the field by over 
a 100 points, the Orangemen 
also accumulated a 45percent 
attack during the year. 

The squad had six men aver- 


Jerry Combest with .455 and 
8.4, and Johnny Williams with 
a .445 and 8.1. The first six 
in scoring were also these same 
six. Landers had 363, Arm¬ 
strong, 272, Glover, 225, Lacy 
224, Williams, 193, and 
Combest, 201. We’ve left some¬ 
one out and that’s Joe Pollock,
